The problem is the following and is a security issue:

> **[Reason: CORS request not HTTP](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS/Errors/CORSRequestNotHttp)**
>
> CORS requests may only use the HTTPS URL scheme, but the URL specified by the request is of a different type. This often occurs if the URL specifies a local file, using a file:/// URL.

If you really want to use it, in firefox, you can set privacy.file\_unique\_origin to false

You can’t run ajax from a `file://` protocol, you’ll always end up with CORS errors.  
You must use a web server.
